Delekhan was once one of Murmandamus' field generals during the war of the Great Rising in which the Moredhel made a bloody march to Sethanon. He has risen to great power as Leader of the unified Nations of the North by taking advantage of the disunity among his people following their humiliating defeat. With his power, he has terrorized various clans into joining him in another siege on Sethanon, telling his people that Murmandamus is being held captive by the Kingdom of the Isles. To this end, he has hired a band of mercenary magicians (The Six) who help him to consolidate his power.
